Unrivaled Medicine God, page 264
Although City Lord Manor had the final say in Wu Fang City, the Ren Family was not the fixed city lord.
Back then, the Cao Family dominated the city lord position for a very long time but was replaced by Ren Xingchun.
Hence, for Ren Xingchun to want to appoint a young lord, it still needed to go through everyone’s approval.
Ye Yuan, regardless whether was it talent or strength, there was probably not a single person who dared to say a word of objection.
Ye Yuan being this young lord was naturally also getting what was deserved.
“Ye Yuan is a young hero. He can naturally take on this great responsibility!”
“I have no objections. City Lord, you make the call!”
“This Cao represents the Cao Family and firmly endorses Young Lord Ye Yuan!”
When Ren Xingchun’s words were spoken, everyone all clamored to respond.
Seeing this scene, Ren Xingchun nodded his head slightly too and said to Ye Yuan, “Ye Yuan, from now onwards, you’ll be . . .”
“Hold on!” Ye Yuan extended a hand and interrupted Ren Xingchun’s words, saying, “This status of a young lord, I’m not interested!”
Ren Xingchun’s face went black. Wasn’t this punk too uncivil?
Wu Fang City’s Young Lord was an existence on the same level as the Three Sect’s head disciples. It was already the highest position among the Endless World’s junior generation.
This boy actually refused!
Could it be that this boy was still harboring hatred in his heart and wanted to make him look bad in front of everyone?
How could he know that how could Ye Yuan settle on a puny little Wu Fang City Young Lord?
Among the people present, probably only Qi Hai could slightly understand Ye Yuan’s thoughts.
But even he was unable to understand how great Ye Yuan’s horizons were either.
“Not just me, Ren Dong that boy, I’m bringing away too!” Ye Yuan said nonchalantly.
When these words came out, the audience burst into an uproar.
It was fine if this boy did not accept the position of City Lord himself, he actually forbid Ren Xingchun’s most favored grandson to be City Lord too.
This time, it was really overboard!
“Ye Yuan, this old man already issued a self-admonishing edict. You should understand what this means. Are you going to ruin my Ren Family’s future in front of so many people?”
Rivers and mountains may be changed, but it’s hard to alter a man’s nature.
Ye Yuan slapped his face in public. The fury in his heart could be imagined.
Chapter 543. The Road Underfoot |
Ye Yuan looked at Ren Xingchun, feeling very amused in his heart.
If it were in the past, this old fellow would have long sent a palm howling over. But now, he was talking reason with him. It was also aggrieving enough.
However, Ye Yuan did not have plans on changing his thinking.
The vast sky allowed a bird to fly, and the wide sea allowed a fish to leap about. It was naturally impossible for him to stay in a tiny little Wu Fang City to be some young lord.
“I have my own plans for the future. It’s impossible to keep on staying in Wu Fang City. And Ren Dong already acknowledged me as his master. I naturally have to guide him well. As for this young lord position, I can recommend a person to you,” Ye Yuan said coolly.
Ren Xingchun was rather curious. Apart from Ye Yuan and Ren Dong, who else had the capabilities to be qualified for this young lord position.
“Say it.”
Ye Yuan’s gaze landed on Ye Hang, and he said with a smile, “Far away on the horizon, and yet right before your eyes!”
Ye Hang was stupefied and pointed to himself and said, “Me? What kind of joke is this?!”
Ren Xingchun’s expression darkened once more. This punk was purely making a laughing stock out of him!
How much capabilities Ye Hang had that he could still not be aware of? If Ye Hang had this capability, why would he object to Ren Hongling being together with him so determinedly back then?
Ye Yuan shook his head and said, “I’m not joking! Father, you don’t need to belittle yourself either. Within ten years, you can definitely surpass Old Man Ren!”
Ye Yuan did not approve of Ren Xingchun up until now either, so he kept calling him Old Man Ren.
Of course, Old Man Ren’s mind was completely not focused on this. He was currently burning with rage.
This punk was getting more preposterous as he spoke!
Ye Hang surpassing him within ten years? Wasn’t this a fantasy tale?
“Ye Yuan! Messing around got to have a limit too! Even if you don’t acknowledge this old man, there isn’t a need to make this sort of joke in front of so many people either!” Ren Xingchun said furiously.
Ye Yuan said coolly, “I already said, I’m not joking around! Like this, how about we make a bet? If Father is unable to surpass you within ten years, I’ll come back and be the Young Lord for you!”
What Ye Yuan was implying was Ye Hang being the City Lord and not Young Lord!
This sort of ‘big talk,’ probably only Ye Yuan dared to say it.
Actually, Ye Yuan naturally had full confidence in Ye Hang. He cultivated the Spirit Bristle Nine Yang Divine Art and Thousand Augmenting Soul Incantation, these two cultivation methods. If he still could not break through to the Alchemy Sovereign Realm within ten years, then that would be unbelievable!
Furthermore, Ye Yuan knew that Ye Hang’s talent was not bad.
Back then, the reason why he was inferior to Ren Hongling was entirely that of family background and resources problem.
Now that Ye Hang’s back was leaning on City Lord Manor this big tree, and he had the Divine Realm’s pinnacle level cultivation methods, cultivating to the Alchemy Sovereign Realm within ten years was absolutely as easy as turning over one’s hand.
It was just that these people had no way of understanding.
But Ye Yuan believed that before long, Ye Han’s improvement speed would leave everyone dumbfounded.
“Fine! This old man will bet with you!” Ren Xingchun agreed without any hesitation.
Ten years time was not considered long to him. He could totally wait.
At that time, if Ye Hang did not have the qualifications, wouldn’t Ye Yuan still come back obediently to take over Wu Fang City?
How could he know that how could Ye Yuan possibly stay in the Lower Realms for ten years?
. . . . . .
The next day, a high platform was built in the Exquisite Jade Pavilion’s Thousand Query Wall’s main hall.
A youth was currently sitting upright solemnly, with the air of a great master.
But all the people below the stage were older than him, looking rather incongruous.
This sort of thing like hosting a forum and giving a lecture, without reaching a certain level, nobody dared to do it. Especially in Wu Fang City, the alchemy holy land.
The level of the alchemists’ standards here practically assembled all of Endless World’s alchemy path elites.
Without Alchemy Sovereign strength, how could the average person dare to open a forum and give a lecture?
But Ye Yuan this Quasi-Alchemy King Realm youth actually did it.
Even though Ye Yuan was at the height of his popularity right now in Wu Fang City, it was not enough. The people who came to watch him make a fool of himself today was actually not the minority.
Ye Yuan was seriously too young. As the saying went: young people couldn’t be trusted with important tasks.
Many people only heard rumors of the Thousand Query Wall’s seventh level’s questions being answered by someone. But not many people believed it.
Of course, among the people here today, there were many who were alchemists present on that day. They all witnessed Ye Yuan’s spectacular performance.
Today was the first day the Ren Family took over the Thousand Query Wall. Many people were also skeptical about whether or not the Ren Family had the foundation to take over.
Ye Yuan sat at the top very composedly, without the slightest hint of stage fright.
In his previous life, he had opened forums and given lectures more than once. Regarding such spectacles, he was all too familiar. It was simply far from getting stage fright.
Compared to his previous life, the levels of these people in front of him was seriously too low.
One had to know that each time Ji Qingyun hosted a forum and gave a lecture in his previous life, there were even quite a number of Alchemy Emperor powerhouses who came upon hearing the news!
Likewise, an Alchemy Emperor, Ye Yuan’s strength was much stronger compared to those people!
Now, facing this small scene, it was simply child’s play to Ye Yuan.
After everybody settled down, Ye Yuan’s first words made everyone’s glasses fall off.
“The Alchemy Path and Martial Path are the same; they are also a kind of Great Dao! The direction of Dao is formed by accumulating it step by step! As the saying goes: without the accumulations of small steps, it’s impossible to walk and finish a journey of a thousand miles; without accumulating small, trickling streams, it’s unable to form a great sea. There is no lack of Quasi-Alchemy Kings, Alchemy Kings, and even Alchemy Sovereign experts among you all. But touch your heart and ask yourselves, this road underneath your foot, was it really walked properly? This first day today, what I’ll be narrating to you all is the refinement of Tier 1 medicinal pills!”
“What did he say just now? At the start, hearing it was still quite interesting. But why did the style change as he spoke? With our strength, do we still need to listen to the refining methods of Tier 1 medicinal pills? Simply ludicrous!”
“Yeah! What kind of bullshit hosting a forum and giving a lecture! Simply courting people’s favor by talking big to impress! City Lord Manor actually sent a small child here to host a forum and give a lecture. What a joke!”
“Let’s leave, leave! We came all the way here; could it be to just listen to a child talk about refining Tier 1 medicinal pills? Isn’t this wasting time?!”
. . . . . .
Ye Yuan’s words immediately incurred everyone’s intense backlash.
Even those who had seen before Ye Yuan’s spectacular performance were also very disappointed by Ye Yuan’s performance today.
Could it be that Ye Yuan came prepared that day? That was why he was so mind-boggling?
Today, in front of everyone, his true colors were revealed?
Ye Yuan finished saying the first sentence, and there were already many people starting to walk out.
Regardless of whether they were martial artists or alchemists, their eyes were forever looking up. There would never be anyone who would think much of martial artists lower rank than themselves.
Of course, Ye Yuan was an exception.
The way these people saw it, Tier 1 medicinal pills utterly did not even count as learning the rudiments. Was there still a need to pretend and host a forum to give a lecture?
But the reason why Ye Yuan could have such great accomplishments in his previous life was that his foundation was laid down too solidly!
Wait until his boundary became high; it was merely just piecing together the originally simple things.
The refining methods which looked to be extremely unfathomable in other people’s eyes was very simple in Ye Yuan’s view.
Ye Yuan did not bother with those people who left but continued to speak with fervor and confidence.
Some people left, but some people reined in their impatience and stayed behind.
And the expression on their faces also changed to become fervor from the initial disdain and finally became enthrallment.
Chapter 544. Master Ye |
High-rise buildings were raised from the ground up!
For Ye Yuan to be able to reach Peak Alchemy Emperor Realm, it was absolutely not by chance.
The sturdiness of his basic skills in alchemy could make everyone all perspire from embarrassment, let alone that the ones with the highest strength among these alchemists in front of him were Alchemy Sovereign?
Ye Yuan’s elucidation explained profound theories in simple terms, making those alchemists all have a feeling of suddenly becoming enlightened.
Only after these alchemists listened to his words did they know that their path all the way over here was like a large funnel.
Leaking as they walked.
Reaching their boundary now, they already missed God knows how many things.
Hearing Ye Yuan’s sermon, they wished that they could immediately go back to study Tier 1 medicinal pills, systems, and learn once more!
With Ye Yuan’s realm, narrating these basic theories was enough to make these people glean considerable gains.
In the beginning, it was still quite noisy inside the entire main hall.
But later on, the entire main hall became perfectly silent. Only Ye Yuan’s voice was reverberating.
Those alchemists, including Cao Zheng who came with the mood of attending the event, all became devout believers at this time.
The faces of these people would reveal a ‘so that’s how it is’ look every now and then.
“Alright. The sermon today will end here. Now is the time to raise questions. I can answer ten of your questions. Starting now then.”
Ye Yuan’s indifferent voice sounded out. Only now, did the audience startle awake.
Many people still had a look of recollecting the aftertaste. Evidently, they had not yet recovered from Ye Yuan’s sermon earlier.
Only at this time, did they abruptly wake up. The one giving them a sermon was merely a 17 year old youth!
How monstrous was this youth? To actually have such profound understanding of Tier 1 medicinal pills?
Compared to Ye Yuan’s lecture earlier, the Herbal Compendium was simply like a child’s play; too shallow!
They all could not understand how a 17 year old youth’s understanding of alchemy reached such a level.
“Master Ye, I have a question to ask!”
An Alchemy King was the first to react and was the first to raise his hand.
And in his words, Ye Yuan already became ‘Master Ye.’
Seeing that Alchemy King raise his hand, everyone was lamenting with regret in their hearts that they missed such a precious opportunity to clarify their doubts.
But they all secretly made up their minds to definitely be the first one to raise their hands next time!
Ren Dong was already standing on the platform at this time, helping Ye Yuan to maintain order.
He was listening to the lecture below the stage the entire time before this and also received considerable gains.
These few days, he had been researching Tier 1 medicinal pills the entire time and had long trained the Greater Phaseless Art to the Legendary Realm under Ye Yuan’s guidance.
Ren Dong felt that his understanding towards Tier 1 medicinal pills was already quite okay.
But after hearing Ye Yuan’s talk today, he discovered that he seemed to have only touched the tip of the iceberg. Although these Tier 1 medicinal pills were simple, the things that he needed to studied in-depth were way too many.
Standing on the platform at this time to help Ye Yuan maintain order and hearing these people call Master Ye one after the other, he had indescribable pride in his heart.
This master of his was considered acknowledged correctly!
Even though Ye Yuan was his cousin, the disparity between the two of them was too great.
“It’s you then! Ask away!” Ren Dong said.
But when that Alchemy King heard Ren Dong’s words, he became hesitant and actually did not open his mouth for a time.
Ren Dong said unhappily, “Is there a question or not? If there isn’t, switch to somebody else! Master’s time is very precious! Where does he have the time to dawdle with you here?”
Only then did the Alchemy King said hesitatingly, “Master Ye, my question concerns Tier 4 medicinal pills. I wonder . . .”
Ye Yuan smiled faintly and said, “Doesn’t matter. Ask away.”
This person was clearly afraid that he could not answer Tier 4 medicinal pills problems. Furthermore, the question asked was not too conforming with the contents of the sermon. Hence, he would appear hesitant.
That Alchemy King was immediately overjoyed when he heard and said, “Master Ye, recently when I’ve been refining the Phoenix Flame Pill, I noticed a problem. When the Phoenix Cry Grass and Bamboo Filament Azure Yellow are together, they keep on being unable to fuse together perfectly. From there, it caused my pill refinement success rate and quality unable to improve. I tried countless ways but always failed to resolve this issue. Master Ye, please resolve my doubt.”
When this Alchemy King expert was raising his problem, he was like a student asking a teacher questions, very devoutly.
But towards his attitude, nobody questioned it.
Ye Yuan already used his broad and profound alchemy knowledge to subdue everyone.
Among the people present, there were quite a few people who were among the group present when Ye Yuan challenged the Thousand Query Wall.
Regarding whether or not Ye Yuan could answer an Alchemy King’s question, they were not worried in the slightest.
Very uncoincidentally, this Alchemy King was not present the previous time. Hence, he was still somewhat doubtful about Ye Yuan’s ability.
After all, even if a person researched more thoroughly into Tier 1 medicinal pills, it did not have the slightest thing to do with Tier 4 medicinal pills either.
Ye Yuan said without any need to think, “The Phoenix Flame Grass and the Bamboo Filament Azure Yellow, their attributes clash. If you forcefully try to fuse them together, it naturally can’t do so perfectly. Each time you were refining the Phoenix Flame Pill, was there a feeling of losing control of the fire, the medicinal pill about to jump out of your palm, around 15 minutes before forming the pill?”
